Cyan / Magenta / Yellow Adjusts the strengths of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Moving the slider to the right makes a color stronger, and moving the slider to the left makes a color weaker. You can also directly enter a value linked to the slider. Enter a value in the range from -50 to 50. This adjustment changes the relative amount of ink of each color used, which alters the total color balance of the document. Use your application if you want to change the total color balance significantly. Use the printer driver only if you want to adjust the color balance slightly. Important • When Monochrome or Monochrome (Photo) is selected for Color Mode, the color balance (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) cannot be set because the Color Adjustment tab switches to the Gray Adjustment tab.
